Chapter 66: The Mansion
"Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island, my fair lady, drooling ......"
Li Xiangzhi closed the door and planned the plan behind closed doors, because he learned from Su Rui that his group was on the verge of bankruptcy and bankruptcy in the recent open and secret struggle between Jin Ye and the other two underground forces in Suzhou.
People must have money to have people, and people must have talents and land. It must be that Jin Laosan has been bullied and lost his land, which is inevitable.
And Li Xiangzhi previously spent a whole day to get to know the major gray markets in Suzhou City. Sure enough, there is a mixture of three religions and nine streams, among which the underground market has been seriously divided into several pieces, and those who are a little famous are all supported by fighting forces, such as the place where Guan Qinglou Wharf is located, these are all able to make a lot of money. Therefore, because of Su Rui's matter, in order to open an opening for Jin Ye, Li Xiangzhi decided to make an entertainment city business planning plan. Draw a cake and let Jin Ye fill his hunger, lure it to his advantage, and set Su Rui out.
The planning plan is extremely detailed, Li Xiangzhi wants to break the Ming Dynasty's unpopular casino model, take the high-end route, according to Li Xiangzhi's idea, Macau casinos can be cloned.
Li Xiangyi rose up from time to time, and this planning plan was written for a whole day and night, and the more he wrote, the more excited he became. until he was exhausted and threw himself on the desk and fell asleep.
In the early morning of the second day, Li Xiangzhi woke up slowly, yawned heavily, and then stretched his waist and moved his stiff arms, and suddenly found that the planning plan drawings and manuscripts on the table were missing, and he suddenly shouted and said: "TMD, am I dreaming last night?" ”
Li Xiangyi looked around with a confused face, and it was indeed not left behind, and the gains he had worked so were completely gone.
"Is it haunted, or am I really just having a dream?"
Li Xiangzhi was extremely depressed, so he could only give up, after all, he still had something to do today.
The air in the early morning was exceptionally sweet, and even before the sun rose, Li Xiangzhi had already asked Zhang Mengjin to see the house. Although he only has two hundred taels of silver on hand, which is far from the five hundred taels that Zhang Mengjin said, it does not hinder Li Xiangyi's heart to buy a house.
As an ancient, there is an advantage that you go to bed early and get up early, the ancient nightlife is lacking, the lights are dim, and you go to sleep at almost eight or nine o'clock in the evening. Sleeping more than ten hours a day is not enjoyment, but torture.
As a modern person, Li Xiangzhi has adapted to the work and rest rules of the Ming Dynasty, and he can't wait to light up early and go out early.
After meeting with Zhang Mengjin, the two came to Wuxian East Street Jing Lane, where the streets are spacious, the houses are like rules, and they are distributed in a formation along a Qinghe willow tree.
Li Xiangzhi stood in front of the door of a mansion and said in a daze: "I'll go!" Is this a house of five hundred taels? ”
Zhang Mengjin looked proud, and said: "It's necessary, the environment is okay, the house is big enough, there are twenty or so rooms, buy a dozen maids, and twenty or thirty servants are no problem." The key is that it is close to my house, and the time for three incense sticks is here. ”
Li Xiangzhi was speechless for a moment: "Your uncle, I'll let you find a low-key house, just three or five people to live in, what's the matter with you building a separate courtyard for me?" No wonder, I'll just say, the house in Suzhou City is sky-high, five hundred taels of cottages, and it's also a dog. If you dare to love you, you want me to buy a villa. ”
"Eh, this is a bad statement, I look at you in the future will be famous all over the world, if the house is too small, it will not show your style, and then say, of course, we and other scholars must have a good living environment, you really don't say, there are gardens, fish ponds, lotus ponds, water pavilion stage, rockeries around, everything is available, how good the environment is."
Li Xiangzhi glanced at Zhang Mengjin with slanted eyes, and said: "You must be low-key, low-key can live for a long time." ”
"Hey, I'm Zhang Ling, how can I be low-key. It's only a three-way yard, and the price is really cheap. If you think about Li Yuanwai, who came to see the painting that day, he has a big mansion with seven entrances and seven spans, and he has eight or nine thousand taels of silver in this realm, and Guo Yuanwai, although there are only five advances, but the realm is not eight thousand taels less. You have three courtyards here covering an area of five acres, only five hundred taels, and if you want me to say it when it's cheap, eight hundred taels are worth it. If you don't want to live there, that's fine, you can buy it first and then resell it. ”
"Lao Tzu is not a shameless person who hoards commercial houses and inflats housing prices. All I need to do is enter the house. ”
"Well, why didn't you say it earlier?"
"It's not too late."
"It's late, I've paid the deposit, it's three hundred taels."
"I'm ...... Day"
Li Xiangyi stepped into the mansion with a gloomy face, although the five hundred taels of flowers were distressed, but for Li Xiangzhi, this mansion was quite worthwhile. A look at the majestic atmosphere of the gate, and the beams in the interior are exquisitely carved, quite fine, and the person who designed this house, may also be a family of enjoyment, the beauty of the beauty of the south of the Yangtze River is different from the large and dense in the north, and pays more attention to the living environment, after all, there is this condition, just like the same three-entry house in the north, the rooms that may be repaired can have sixty or seventy rooms, but here is different, Jiangnan has environmental advantages, pay attention to the decoration of the courtyard. A lot of effort has been put into the landscape, flowers and plants, which is pleasing to the eye.
Li Xiangyi thought that he would have to live a two-person world with Su Mingyue in the future, and the huge mansion was a little stunned when he looked at it. This is the work of modernist thought, and Li Xiangyi has not touched on the problems of three wives, four concubines, maids, and servants. But the huge house, if it is not equipped with a dozen or twenty people, it will be very empty. Li Xiangzhi also wondered at this time, did he really want to live a corrupt life as a landlord?
Anyway, with Zhang Mengjin's money, Li Xiangzhi also happily delivered the only two hundred taels of silver, which really gave him a sense of belonging to the Ming Dynasty.
Now in the middle of summer, a small lotus pond under the pavilion of the water pavilion is covered with lotus leaves and lotus flowers, and Li Xiangzhi's thoughts are on Su Mingyue. I can't wait to take Su Mingyue over immediately to spend the moon together, and the love words are endless.
The wood has become a boat, Li Xiangzhi is also a character who forgets if he passes, money is something outside the body, the way to use it is money, and it is a dead thing if he doesn't use it, and Li Xiangzhi didn't continue to care.
Li Xiangzhi remembered his casino plan, and suddenly asked with interest: "Mengjin, how much money does your family have?" ”
Zhang Mengjin said: "What are you asking for?" ”
"I'm just curious, how rich a person like your family is in Suzhou City."
Zhang Mengjin groaned: "What's this? In general, I don't know how much private property my family has, but the turnover of money, that is, two or three thousand taels, in Suzhou City, what is it, just a small business. Even wealthy businessmen with millions of family assets are not lacking in the majority. For example, Qi Min'er's Qi family, who has been doing business several times across the country, has to be in the millions. ”
"It's rich!"
Zhang Mengjin said angrily: "There are many rich people, think about it, these three hundred and sixty lines, each line must have a few people who are such a giant businessman, this is still a place, so how many are there in the country?" ”
Li Xiangzhi secretly thought: "If you really build a casino, it is really promising." But this casino, the reputation is not very good, but fortunately, it makes rich people's money, so that these rich people know each other, and it is also complementary to each other. Alas, no, I painted a cake for Jin Laosan, how did I draw myself into it. This can't be done, can't be done. ”
